One of the most mesmerising sights in the night sky, the aurora borealis, or more commonly known as northern lights, continues to captivate people across the world. Often elusive, the shimmering green and purple lights are a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many. Thanks to a NASA astronaut Anne McClain, currently aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, we’re getting a rare and breathtaking view of the aurora — not from Earth, but from space.
This stunning footage of the northern lights was followed by a major geomagnetic storm triggered by a solar flare emitted from the Sun last Friday. While the flare prompted alerts from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), it caused minimal disruption on Earth.
